Climate change I an uncertain future

Suzuki, David T., 1936- (Added Author). Gilday, Leonard. (Added Author). Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. (Added Author).

Summary: "Now that climate change is an accepted, if inconvenient, truth, how are we coping? David Suzuki takes a first-hand look at how climate change is affecting Canadians where it really hurts: in their ability to make a living. Beginning on the Prairies, David discovers how farmers are faring as shrinking glaciers wreak havoc with their water supply. In B.C. he comes face to face with the mountain pine beetle. This tiny deadly insect has already swallowed B.C.'s trees and now it's checking out Alberta's, threatening the economy in both provinces. In B.C.'s Okanagan wine region, vineyards are reaping the benefits of warmer weather, but also learning to negotiate a vulnerable water supply. And in the North, as new shipping routes open, sleepy port towns are waking to the siren call of profits. But what do the changes really mean for workers, for Canada's sovereignty, for traditional cultures and for our already fragile environment? Does it all add up to an uncertain future?"--container.
